[REF] Kernel source code repository for T-Mobile Galaxy S III (T999V)

---

Hi everyone.

As you all know, Samsung distributes source code as tarballs which isn't the best way to redistribute kernel source code

git is the best modern way to work with Linux Kernel sources, designed by Linus himself in this purpose.

So, cdesai made an organization on Github for that. It contains the kernel source for all the variants that have posted source so far.

https://github.com/sgs3

And yea, that means source code has been released, head on to http://opensource.samsung.com/

Kernel Sources :
https://github.com/sgs3/SGH-T999V_Kernel

Branches :
master :- branch you should use(for developers), will contain fixes and more in the future

If anyone wants to commit any fixes / anything else, let me know, and we can add you to the organization

How to Build :
Get the source:

git clone git://github.com/sgs3/SGH-T999V_Kernel.git
cd SGH-T999V_Kernel
git checkout master

Tell it to use our config:

make ARCH=arm CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain m2_att_defconfig

Build:

make CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain

or

make -j `cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep "^processor" | wc -l` CROSS_COMPILE=/path/to/toolchain

The compiled kernel is arch/arm/boot/zImage

(Also note: Im posting the source in a much easier to get way, but I dont have T-Mobile, so I wont be doing builds for you guys)

Very handy, thanks.

The T999V is not the correct model for T-Mobile.

The correct source is for the T999 (no V). I believe the V is for WIND Mobile in Canada.

You can find the opensource for the T999 here:

http://opensource.samsung.com/recept...Value=SGH-T999

Not complaining about the original post, just want to make sure everyone is using the correct files and on the same page development-wise.

The V is for Windmobile.
The baseband/(kernel ?) is not compatible. (found out after flashing a t mobile custom rom and the phone now has a unrecognised baseband.

I own a SGH-T999V and my carrier is Videotron.
